مَتى كانَ لِلصَبِّ في مَذهَبِ الهَوى
حَظُّ نَفسٍ فَما ذاكَ صَبُّ
When has the lovesick one, in love’s creed,
had a share for himself? If he has, he is no lovesick one.
وَلَيسَ مِنَ الحُبِّ في عِدَّةِ المُحِبّينَ
قَلبٌ لَهُ فيهِ قَلبُ
And among those counted as lovers, in love,
there is no heart that still has a heart within it.
Sol 6
